sounds like what you are seeking is way more stressful than just carry some gear with You. OTOH - what do you really need to carry? By definition (hotels), you will be picking touring through civilized territories which come with stores along the way. At night, in your comfy hotel you put that fancy bathrobe on they give you in hotels and you wash your junk in the sink and let it dry and then you tour the next day. If You rip a shirt then you buy a new one in a store along the way etc ...

I am about to leave (tomorrow) on a 3 night trip from Burlington VT to Portland Maine. I packed camping stuff, toiletry kit but nothing to cook with. So if I was in the hotel I could leave the camping stuff at home as well as the toiletry bag and so in essence I could just tour with absolute minimum. (maybe a seatpost bag for my tools)
